Multiple Republicans in the House of Representatives are demanding the FBI release Nashville shooter Audrey Hale's manifesto, while a councilmember says she's been told it's a 'blueprint on total destruction.'
It comes a week after a poll where two thirds of US voters said they want Nashville police to release the manifesto — a sign of growing frustration with the investigation into the deadly attack.
Hale, who is transgender, fired 152 rounds from two assault rifles and a handgun, murdering Hallie Scruggs, William Kinney, Evelyn Dieckhaus, all nine, and headmistress Dr. Katherine Koonce, 60, substitute teacher Cynthia Peak, 61, and chef Mike Hill, 61 on March 27.
Metro Nashville Councilmember Courtney Johnston said that, regardless of when, the manifesto will not be released in its entirety, noting what is expected to be a shocking read.
'What I was told is, her manifesto was a blueprint on total destruction, and it was so, so detailed at the level of what she had planned,' Johnston said.
That document in the wrong person's hands would be astronomically dangerous,' she told the New York Post.
Officers retrieved a 'manifesto', hand-drawn maps, a suicide note, 20 journals, laptops, phones, and several writings, from Hale's home and the Honda Fit she left in the school parking lot.
Congressman Tim Burchett, a Republican from Tennessee, was disappointed by the news.

I was merely making a general point about “words on paper” — sometimes more dangerous than “the sword”, you know, in a certain time and circumstance.
My guess here is that there may be clues leading to another prospective crazy.
Now, if in several months Hale’s writings are still a secret without a darn good reason given for holding them, then I would begin to wonder if the greater danger was the manifesto (etc.) or the holders...
Fair enough, and good point about other potential psychos lurking. I have a different suspicion about it but who knows, you might have a point there and the local cops don’t want to catalyze anyone.
Maybe.
No doubt! That would probably be enough to accommodate all there is of us.
